“Thank you again for your workshop. I’m now integrating your tips in my daily practice. I notice that your visions are like beautiful seeds, wich will grow to make big changes. Your way of teaching is different and therefore great. Besides your knowledge as a performer, you know a lot of body dynamics and technique which added a lot of value to me. This authentic combination makes performance possible from power without mis-abusing your body. Geordeous… "
